Isle of Man school system
The Isle of Man has six secondary schools. The other comprehensive schools are St Ninian's High School, Ballakermeen High School, Ramsey Grammar School and Queen Elizabeth II High School. There is one private (fee-paying) school, King William's College.
The House System
The pupils of the school are grouped into four houses named after headlands or rocks in the south of the island: Bradda, Carrick, Langness and Scarlett. Houses compete in a number of events in the year ranging from sporting events such as inter-house rugby, cross country and netball to more academic competition in the form of a merit award system for good work. There are four trophies available each year for "Sport", "Merits", and "Attendance", and the overall best house trophy which is awarded to the house which does best over the other three categories.
